title: Analysis of femininity: a didactic group experience.
abstract: We present an analysis of femininity carried out by 6 female doctors who, following a 1-year didactic group experience, bring into question psychoanalytical hypotheses and theories, describing dreams and fantasies about castration, penis envy and the male/female opposition, finally establishing what can be currently considered to be 'feminine' and going on to ask themselves about the female identity in terms of its own internal structure without referring to questions of class or gender.
